What each centre does

The centres differ in setting and emphasis, but share the same purpose: to make Krishnamurti’s teachings accessible to those who wish to explore them seriously.

Study Centre

Attached to the six KFI schools, study centres offer residential stays for guests, teachers, and parents to encounter Krishnamurti’s teachings — through video screenings, dialogue, and use of the library. Several also conduct translation of his books into Indian languages

Retreat Centres

Set in the Himalayan foothills and the Almora hills, these centres offer a quieter, more remote setting for those wishing to spend time in nature while engaging with the teachings. Their small scale and natural surroundings invite a different quality of attention.

City Centres

Located in Mumbai, Kolkata, and Cuttack, city centres bring Krishnamurti’s teachings to urban communities through programmes, screenings, and dialogues. The Mumbai centre is open on a walk-in basis. All three centres also undertake translation work into regional languages.
